      In England, before ‘woke’ and ‘snowflake’ was a saying, people used to say ‘it’s PC gone mad’.

      Sincerely, someone whose PC went mad.

      For someone who’s so “woke” you’re really societally unaware. But I guess that might be the point….

          It’s real simple: woke has a negative connotation for a reason. I won’t deny that the context is complex, but if you think most people react positively to the phrase, you’re living under a rock.

            “Woke” is a term bigots and racists took over to use to hate on “tolerance” without saying they hate “tolerance”. Take it back.

            Woke is awesome, and I’ll own the “negative” connotation. Fuck MAGA asshat fascists; they seek to eliminate what little democracy was even there.

            Woke means: not being an asshat. Woke means: caring for the environment, caring for labour rights, caring to fight oligarchy.

            It has a negative connotation only for nazis and racists. For everyone else it has a clear, well defined meaning. Anyone who uses it as pejorative is a racist, nazi propagandist.

              You’re just plain wrong. As evidenced by the mainstream media using it as such. They’re not pandering to Nazis. They’re pandering to mainstream liberals, and they see it as a negative term. Go cry to them. Boo-hoo.
